orresponding and like parts are referred to in the followingdescription, and desigaccompanymg drawings, by similar referencecharacters.

n the drawings, 1 designates the base, 2 the'pedestal, 3 theincandescent bulbs, and 4 the shade of an electric table lamp. The base1 and pedestal2 may be made of wood, metal of any other suitablematerial or materials, and these parts, which are provided with apassage 5 for the reception of the wires leading to the bulbs 33, may beof any well known or appropriate configuration and or namented ifdesired. The bulbs 3 and shade 4, which latter may be of any desired construction and configuration, may be-secured to the pedestall in any wellknown or appropriate manner.

In accordance with the present invention, the pedestal 2 constitutes acasing and is provided with'a compartment 6 for the reception of boxesof cigars, cans of tobacco and the like. The door 7 of the compartment 6being shown in open is supported by hinges 8 for movement about avertical axis, and is provided with a knob 9. A. holder 10 for a packageof cigarettes and a holder 11 for a box of matches are secured to theinner side of the door 7 and-said holders may be of any well known orappropriate construction. l

The pedestal 2 is also provided with a compartment 12 forthe receptionof an ash receiver 13. The door 14 of this compartment is pivoted at itslower end as at 15 for movement about a horizontal axis. The ashreceiver 13 is secured to the inner side of the door 14, and has itsupper end inclined downwardly and inwardly. A lid 16 is provided for andremovably secured to the upper end of the ash receiver 13, and is dishedand provided with an opening 17, as shown in Figure 2. Plates 18 securedto the side edges of the door 14 and of sector formation, and pins 19secured to opposite sides of the compartment 12 andentering arcuateslots 20 in the plates, limit the opening movement of the door andsupport it in an upwardly inclined position when opened. A closure 21for the opening-17 of the lid 16. is pivoted as at 22 to the inner edgeof the lid, and is provided 'with an arm 23 which is adapted to contactwith a wall of the compartment 12 during the opening of the door 14 soas to effect the raising or movement of the closure into inac tiveposition and hold it in such position while the door is opened, againstthe tension of a spring 21 which is adapted to move the closure intoactive position during the closing of the door and hold it in saidposition while the door is closed. The closure 21 and arm 23 areangularly related and joined at the pivot 22, and the sprin 21 ismounted on the pivot and has its end s engaged therewith and with thearm. A plate 24 secured to the door 14 and provided with offset lugs 25,andstrips 26 secured to the ash receiver 13 and having reduced ends 27engaged'with the lugs, removably secures the ash receiver to the innerside of the door.- A rest or sup port28 for cigars and cigarettes andwhich is of substantially U-form, has its side mombers 29 pivoted as at30 to the outer edge of the 11d 16 so as to permit it to occupy an inactive position upon the lid when the ash receiver is within thecompartment 12 and an active or outwardly projecting position withrespect to the lid when the ash receiver is in position for use:The-rest or support 28 is supported inits active position'by the upperedge of thedoor 14. The cross member 30 of the support or rest 28 isprovided with arcuate-depressions 31 for the reception of cigars andcigarettes.

As shown in Figures 1-6, the pedestal 2 is of polygonal formation inhorizontal section. It may, however, be made of cylindrical formation asshown in Figures 6-8, and in these figures 2 designates the pedestal, 12the compartment for the ash receiver, 13 the ash receiver, and 14the'door of the compartment.

The opening in the lid of the ash receiver 13 is adapted to be closed bya closure similar to the closure 21. The door 14 is adapted to be heldopened by a hook 32 pivoted as at 33 to the door and adapted to beengaged with a bar 34 located within the compartment 12 and secured to awall thereof.

The base 1 is provided with a drawer 36 for the reception of cigars andthe like, and an electric cigar and cigarette lighter 37 of a well knownconstruction is secured to the upper end of the pedestal 2.

From the foregoing and accompanying drawings, it will be apparent thatthe cigarette and match holders will be, when the doors upon which theyare mounted are closed, completely housed I within their respectivecompartments and hidden from view, that when the doors are openedkthecigarettes, matches andash receiver are readily accessible, and thatwhen the ash receiver is located within its compartment the opening inthe lid thereof is closed in a manner to prevent smoke a from escapingtherefrom and to quickly extinguish lighted cigar and cigarette stubstherein. The ash receiver may be quickly removed when it is desiredtoclean the same. When the pedestal is made of wood the compartment forthe ash receiver will be lined with asbestos as will also the ashreceiver.

It should be understood that the drawings are merely illustrative and donot pretend to give exact proportions. Furthermore, the said drawingsare illustrative of a preferred construction, it being my expectationthat various changes and modifications may be made without departingfrom the spirit and scope of my invention as defined by the claims.
